When I arrived at changes I was like a feral animal. Completely broken and thoroughly beaten by my addiction. My arrogance and anger we met with kindness, compassion and boundaries. This was my 7th Inpatient treatment centre. At Changes, I was given a proper education and taught the skills to manage my primary, progressive and incurable brain disease. The therapeutic team were great. They didn't take any nonsense from me. They saw through my manipulation. They were patient and they offered guidance. I learned for the first time, how to stand on my own two feet. The family support programme was the first time my parents were given a platform to start their process of healing. They were also introduced to other families who were going through exactly the same turmoil. Nearly five years later, my mom is still enjoying those friendships. I spent 6 weeks in Inpatient treatment and another 7 month's in a lhalfway house. My self-will and continuing to want to do things "my way", led to my relapse. For the first time my Mom was able to say No to me. She let my live on the street and find my real rock bottom. I'm now almost 3 years clean, and truly living a life beyond my wildest dreams. The tools and skills I leaned at Changes are the foundation on which my recovery is built. Im so grateful to Sheryl and the entire Changes family.

Counselors don’t know what detox means. Try sleep during the day and they bring the group into your room... all the cleaning and staff are amazing except counselors
I've done my share of 3 week inpatient programs. I've expected them to fix me every time and blamed them for not. Changes didn't fix me in 3 weeks either. But they are the first to give me the option and encouragement to do something different this time. Because of that, 3 weeks clean has become almost 9 months in actual recovery. Because of how seriously they addressed my other diagnoses I am in recovery in those areas too. Because of their willingness to accommodate sister 12 step fellowships I am part of bringing recovery to others. Because of a powerful family support program my family finally have the chance to gain understanding and guidance and their own support in this daunting journey. And because of the most dedicated, patient, irritatingly insightful and ridiculously stubborn counsellor I am finally becoming the person I have wanted to be all along. No one is just a number on an invoice, no one is just a list of symptoms, no one is given up on even when they give up on themselves. I have never been fought for the way Changes has fought for me. Sadly, those below who brought their indifference, ignorance and intolerance into their recovery have cheated themselves out of a place in a family. The funny thing is that should they come back they'd be welcomed and fought for all over again.
I would recommend Changes to anybody and everybody who is wanting to clean up and more importantly wanting to learn how to live and strive in the real world without the use of drugs. The senior management in charge of the programme are a wealth of knowledge and practice what they preach. The majority (if not all) of them have personally experienced the journey of recovery and practice it daily. I feel that this alone sets them apart from any other rehab in the country. They are genuinely caring and build real relationships with the patients that are free of judgment or ulterior motives. I have never felt like there was anything that took priority over my well being (money,ego etc) and know that even after the actual treatment period I am supported whenever I need it and many years later. The management has changed slightly with individuals having left but this has done nothing but strengthen the programme. The team is second to none and light years ahead of other facilities. There’s nothing pretentious about it and there has been nothing lacking or left wanting in all the time I’ve been there. It’s worked for me and many people I know who lead very successful fulfilling lives. It’s the only place I’d trust with any of my loved ones wanting to change their lives.
A life changing place for my whole family! Could not be more grateful to the amazing team at Changes. Thank you Sheryl and team ️ I will be forever grateful to you all.
I don't think I can even put into words how much Changes has helped me grow and flourish into who I truly am,from coming into treatment completely broken with absolutely no sense of life,responsibility,reality,causing my family so much pain,being an absent mother completely driven by insanity, chaos and a million broken pieces. Today I have gained more than I could ever imagine through Changes and I have become a person whom I can be proud of today, most of those pieces have been put back together through the ongoing support and guidance I have received from Changes that hasn't stopped since being a inpatient. I have hope and a future now and I could not be more grateful to Changes Treatment Centre for helping me believe that a life this bright is possible!
I believe that CHANGES is making a difference. Excellent program with amazing staff. CHANGES is the place to go! I highly recommend it. They save lives.
